Machinery from all industries is subject to aging processes. For economic and time reasons, damage cannot be repaired by replacing worn or damaged parts, but the product must be reconditioned. One of the most used reconditioning technologies in the industry is welding. Reconditioning technologies are credible, when samples are tested standardized. In most cases, welded structures have undergone various types of destructive tests: tension, compression, torsion and fatigue.[1] Since fatigue tests cannot be made duri...

The possibility of manufacturing compact accelerometer based on prefabricated elements has been shown. Since most of the sensitive element designs at the lowest cost possible to produce at different ranges of sensitivity, so accelerometer design will be flexible in terms of wide range measuring of linear accelerations. Paper describes an original method of calibrating an autonomous unit of accelerometers. Without the use of precision rotary tables, centrifuges, and independent of the vibration reason, it is possib...

In the automotive industry, but also in other sectors, since the 80s one of the most used methods of reconditioning is welding. In this way, various technologies have been developed for each batch taking into consideration their characteristics and use. To observe and determine the correctness and economic impact of these technologies, the samples must be checked by different types of destructive and non-destructive standard tests.The most demanding destructive testing on samples is the fatigue test with alternati...

The goal of the present study is to evaluate the use of mesoporous silicate nanoparticles MCM-41 for the loading and release of the magnolol. MCM-41 has a hexagonal arrangement of mesopores, with diameters ranging from 2 to 10 nm. The homogeneity of the cylindrical pores, high surface area with uniform porosity, and good thermal stability, which make them an attractive molecular sieve for applications in sorption of large organic molecules, as well as host for quantum confinement of guest molecules. Also, the bioc...

The importance of wastewater treatment is growing rapidly with the populationпїЅs need of access to pure water and industrial process water. Different wastewater treatment technologies are available worldwide but the membrane treatment technology has earned popularity in the last decades because of cost/efficiency reasons. Polymeric membranes lead the market in membrane manufacture because they are very competitive in performance and economics. Polysulfone is one of the most used membrane material and has advantag...

Nanocomposites have been considered as a stimulating route for creating a new type of high performance material that combines the advantages of polymer and the nanoparticles. Polyamide is well known as an engineering thermoplastic material that is widely used in industrial applications for its good mechanical and thermal properties. The paper presents the study of the new nanostructured polymer composites from polyamide/oxidized graphite nanoparticles-PA/GO to manufacture, by injection, bearing seals, contact plat...

The magnetorheological (MR) fluids include ferromagnetic and paramagnetic particles suspensions with sizes included between 0.03 and 10 ?m, located in a carrier fluid (usually mineral oil). The complex fluid viscosity strong depends of magnetic field applied. Each particle can be considered a small magnet, which tends to align in the direction of the magnetic field. The magnetorheological fluids have the ability to change their viscosity when they are introduced into a magnetic field, due to the aligned particles ...

The objective of the study was to increase the solubility of amiodarone hydrochloride by complexation with hydroxypropyl-пїЅ-cyclodextrin. After complexation a cyclodextrin/amiodarone inclusion complex was formed. The use of media containing surfactants is a suitable solubilizing method and as a result, a non-ionic surfactant - Tween 80 and an anionic one - sodium lauryl sulfate have been used. The dissolution profile of amiodarone hydrochloride and that of the inclusion complex, regarding the release of the activ...

Membrane processes used in wastewater treatment are categorized as the best techniques available at this time because it has advantages in terms of quality and costs. The membranes have different properties depending on the obtaining parameters. Their properties can be influenced throughout the membrane fabrication steps: when the polymer solution is prepared, when the polymer solution is applied in form of a thin film and also even after the thin film membrane is removed from the coagulation bath. Some important ...

Metal Oxide Varistors are today used for manufacturing state of the art overvoltage protection equipment, at any voltage level, being one of the most common power electronic devices existing on the market. They are widely used because they have a very high non-linear dependence between the applied voltage and the resulting current, and a relatively high energy absorption capability in case of normal overvoltage shocks or even in case of permanent overvoltages. Researches could be carried out both for finding a new...

Cyclophosphamide - N,N - bis (2 - chloroethyl) - 1,3,2 пїЅ oxazaphosphinan пїЅ 2 -amine 2-oxide is one of the widely used drugs in cancer treatment, which presents genotoxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic potential. Previously reported studies proved that long time exposure to cyclophosphamide and their metabolites leads to negative effects upon the environment and human health. Therefore, there is a need for more performant treatment processes for cyclophosphamide advanced degradation from which heterog...

The results of experimental research of hydration process of highly dispersed systems based on saponit-containing waste, extracted as the solid phase of the recycled water suspension kimberlite ore enrichment process of the diamond industry. Saponitcontaining sludge was dehydrated and subjected to mechanical activation on the planetary ball mill. Mechanical activation of raw material more than 60 minutes does not increase the specific surface area of samples was found. Specific surface area is achieves the maximum...
